Saw it this morning, loved it, Doc Ock was a great villain, and it was a very fun look at his more human side (as a reader I don't get to collect all the comics, and it was nice to see him as more than an evil genius bent on destruction).

There was some cementing of players in the spiderman legacy and a few cameo's, Mr Stan Lee was onscreen again (longer than the split second he was on for S1), and Bruce Campbell had another appearance, he was the wrestling announcer in the first one, and an usher at the theater in this one.

Dr. Conners had several moments onscreen and I can' wait to see the Lizard in an upcoming movie. I was rather distraught to see Vargas die in the first one (he's on the Oscorp board of directors - the guy in the wheelchair, and he later became the vulture in the comic). J Jonah Jameson is brilliant, and a very accurate picture of the comic character and his attitudes/reactions, in one part he's bemoaning having chased spiderman away, and then moments later (after spidey returns) he's cursing him out to his staff about how much of a menace he is. All in all a great movie, but a one or two points were a bit disappointing to me personally.

I think he revealed himself to too many people at the end, MJ (She knew long before peter told her in the comic, but didn't actually make the connection in the movie), Harry (couldn't really be helped and it worked out really well), Doctor Octopus (shouldn't have necessarily been shown), everyone on the train (again couldn't really be helped, but at least no one broke out a camera and it was handled very well.
